Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible work environment, ability to work remote

Cons

no raises, given the size of IBM I thought there would be opportunity for movement across brands and divisions. Many jobs are offshored

IBM's size allowed me to contribute in many different areas while developing/expanding my skills.

Program manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Experience over a 30 year career at IBM was that the company allowed me to grow and move with the business. Both helping IBM enter new markets but also challenging me with a variety of assignments. IBM truly has embraced the work life integration in that they are very supportive of building schedules that support both your own personal life but also the varied hours a global workforce requires. IBM's management structure does support you focusing on your Client's needs - although flexibility within the organization has to be actively worked by your management team.

Cons

As with any large organization, the IBM structure can be intimidating for those that are new to the organization. IBM's organization history does support two way conversation on corporate policy which can slow things down - but in the end deliver the best decision.
